In addition to leading AXIS Air, he serves as President of California Aeronautical University, which was founded in Ventura County more than a decade ago and now operates from AXIS Air, helping prepare the next generation of pilots and aviation professionals.

Home to the douglas dc3
mainliner o’connor
The Mainliner O’Connor, a 1945 Douglas DC-3, beautifully restored by Clay Lacy, departed from its longstanding home in Van Nuys (KVNY) to begin a new era at Axis Air in Oxnard (KOXR).
Now owned by DC3 Mainliners LLC and operated by California Aeronautical University, this historic aircraft will continue to inspire and educate the next generation of aviation enthusiasts.
